BOSTON - Celtics coach Doc Rivers isn’t worried about being tied for third place in the Atlantic Division heading into tonight’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Not yet anyway.

"I rarely look at our record," Rivers said before the game. "I don’t think I could ever tell you, like, our exact record. Having said that, I know if we get the team right the record will take care of itself. I really do focus all on that.

"I feel like over the past four, five games, we’ve played better than what we’ve won. But, at the end of the day, you’ve got to win. That’s it. You are what your record says. You always will be.

"I do think we’re playing better now. But we’ve got to do it consistently, and put it all together."

After tonight’s game, the Celtics hit the road for three games over the course of a week. When they return to the Garden for next Wednesday’s walkthrough, and to Waltham for a shootaround next Friday, they might just have Avery Bradley on the floor as well.

The Celtics guard said before tonight’s game he is hoping to make it back to full-contact practice sometime next week. Because of the back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, the timing of what that means for an actual return date is tricky, but it’s encouraging news from the guard who added his shoulders: "feel stronger and stronger."

"He’s shooting and running, and doing skeleton (offense) with us on the floor," Rivers said. "So my assumption is eventually someone will tell me something (about his return), or you guys (the media) will. I’m open to either one."
